Who Is The Author?
If you have young children, it’s likely that you will have heard of Annabel Karmel. With a career spanning more than 27 years, she is a mother of three who has changed the way families all over the world feed their babies and children. It was Annabel’s very own fussy eating son who encouraged her to get creative in the kitchen, developing recipes and cooking-up inventive combinations that eventually became the basis of her first revolutionary cookbook for babies, The Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner. This feeding ‘bible’, which contains recipes, meal planners, essential tips and nutritional advice was released in 1991 and has since become the second best-selling non-fiction hardback of all time.
Annabel has now released over 45 books, with more than 6 million copies sold globally. She has also launched her own supermarket food ranges, a best-selling recipe app, hosted her own TV show, has menus in some of the world’s top leisure resorts and hotels and was even awarded an MBE in 2006 for her contribution to the field of child nutrition.
What Are Her Books About?
With over 45 books published to date, Annabel’s cookbooks cover eating in pregnancy and every stage of a child’s development from first foods and finger foods to foods for fussy eaters and quick and easy family suppers. There are recipes, meal planners, tips and nutritional advice for parents on how to give their growing family the very best start in life.
Why Should I Read Annabel Karmel’s Books?
Annabel is the queen of weaning, and the UK’s number one children’s cookery author. If you’re approaching the weaning stage, Annabel’s books will guide you through this exciting milestone with nutritionally balanced (and tasty!) recipes, meal planners and lots of useful advice. If you’re looking for food to feed your family, her books are bursting with delicious ideas for meals everyone will love.
